Michael the Archangel asked:
I would like to get a canine that serves multiple purposes. I would like it to protect my family and home. I also have milk goats and I would like it to be able herd them in from the field. It should be a breed which is a good pulling dog for helping transfer the milk, bottled and in a cart, from the barn to the home. Finally I will take the dog hunting and have him gaurd the camp while I’m out in the field. . . it will not participate in the actual task of hunting. It should also be good with young children as we have a 3 year old granddaughter. Can I find a well rounded dog breed that can meet these requirements in one dog? If so, which one and if one sex is prefered over another, which would be better.
